Single U-Joint, 18 mm x 17 mm Bores, 38.0 mm OD, Stainless

This Ruland single friction bearing universal joint has 18mm x 17mm bores, a 38.0mm outer diameter, and a 108.0mm length. It is best suited for applications requiring a short length and high torque (when compared to double universal joints of an equivalent OD). This single universal joint is made of a block, two pins, and two yokes. These components are manufactured to tight tolerances using proprietary processes that ensure smooth operation and high misalignment accommodation up to 45°, which is a significant improvement over commodity style single universal joints. It is made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The user can add a boot to protect the joint from unwanted contaminants and increase service life. This single friction bearing universal joint is manufactured in the USA.
